中國歷史的「向量」－－「溝口雄三集」代譯序

The Vector of Chinese History - Preface to the Selected Works of Mizoguchi Yūzō

溝口雄三先生終其一生，有信服力地打造出了關於中國思想史內在理路的結構性解釋，同時，他在社會史視野中把這個思想史的結構性論述轉化為關於中國歷史動力的假說。以經驗事實作為形而下之理的載體，通過對於思想史的一手資料進行富有理論想像力的精準細讀，溝口建構了一個富有色彩和生命的中國思想世界。本文作為代譯序，試圖從溝口中國思想史基本結構的角度接近他建構的這個富有魅力的思想世界。

Throughout his life Mizoguchi Yūzō devoted himself completely to explaining the internal structure of Chinese intellectual history. At the same time, he turned this structural explanation intellectual history into a hypothesis using a social historical framework. Using experience as the embodiment of concrete principles and through imaginatively reading primary sources of intellectual history, Mizoguchi constructed a vivid and colorful world of Chinese intellectual history. As a preface for this book of translations, this essay attempt to approach Mizoguchi's sublime world of intellectual history through interrogating the basic structure of his Chinese intellectual history.
